Clifton Ingram, guitar/electronics

He has written music for pianist Andy Costello, pianist/composer Marti Epstein, clarinetist Chuck Furlong, cellist Steve Marotto, percussionist Matt Sharrock, Castle of our Skins, Equilibrium Ensemble, Joint Venture Percussion Duo, Ludovico Ensemble, Music of Reality, and Transient Canvas. He holds a MM in Composition from The Boston Conservatory, where e studied under the tutelage of Jan Swafford and Andy Vores.
From 2010 until 2012, he was a curator at Brown Rice, a performance venue for new experimental and improvised music and arts in Chicago.
